As far as flora goes, Soybean production is up there with palm oil in terms of environmental grimness. I'm trying, and if I'm honest, usually failing, to cut back significantly on meat intake, but I thing @mishtergrolsch has the right idea in terms of the sorts of things he's mentioned.

Heavy agree. I like it a lot more than my ladyfriend however, and certainly more than the kids, so whenever I make it I end up eating it far days afterwards. I like red onion, red cabbage, some chopped apple, squeeze in an orange, cloves, allspice, redcurrant jelly, nutmeg and red wine. Then just cook it until it's learned its lesson.

I love stuff like this. Would greenie you twice if I could.

He's a total fud. It's a shame, as I've liked some of his comics over the years. https://twitter.com/mrmarkmillar/status/1390062045664620544?s=20

I can't imagine either a) taking her or b) her wanting to go.

Ah, fair play. That sounds grim.

Not wanting to be mean about your wife, but is that actually wine? I've not heard of this product before.

That's true, but you'd be as well just lumping it is as early fusion. It's just a natural consequence of human movement. If I go to Trinidad and Tobago the food is a mix of Indian, Chinese, African, European, Creole, etc. Because that's where people came from. Haggis isn't particularly Scottish, and pizza most likely was derived from the Middle East. It just depends how far back you want to go.

To be fair, didn't you just red dot me the other day for laughing at the lunatic @wbhowieson on Twitter (the one Boghead ranter just mentioned) for being a "Scotland, United Kingdom" style idiot? I agree that it's a bit insane to obsessively dot all your posts, but the whole system is pretty childish, and only ever likely to result in wind-ups. The best revenge is living well. Relax and be happy that you've invaded someone's headspace with relatively little effort is my advice.

Most of their fruit and veg is better than ASDA or Tesco imo. Sainsbury's is overpriced for what it is too. Decent cold meats, parmesan, wine, etc. I don't understand folk that turn their noses up at them; they're missing out (apart from the annoying trollies). You can't get everything you get at the other big places, but I personally don't mind going into more than one supermarket in the week. It's not the biggest chore in the world.

Yorkshire folk are best at a few things. Murdering kids and prossies and stitching up Irishmen spring to mind.

Nice, get wired in. I went for a wee walk in the countryside near work today and my chums and me got about 20 huge raspberries each as we went. Really nice ones too.

My favourite comic character from when I was a lad. Still is tbh.

Yeah, you're right - I've not been very consistent with my own representation and understanding of it. I can do a fact-finding mission on this. Tesco in Springburn is the closest one to us, and it is scaffy and does make folk use coins. The next closest one is Milngavie, which is a nice store. I'll be going past there later in the week and will find out if they need coins (or and P&B poster using it can inform us). It's not an absolute hard and fast rule I guess. I think the Sainsbury's in Kirkintilloch makes folk use coins, and it seems a reasonably pleasant locale.

Always a sign of scaffiness on part of the supermarket or on part of the local denizens that use said supermarket. Aldi and Lidl all need coins/tokens, because they can't be bothered employing someone to collect trollies. Same reason (along with wanting to sqeeze in another couple of car spaces) that they don't have multiple trolley shelters in their car parks. I tend not to get annoyed with them too much as it is what it is, and there are specific goods that get me into their shops. There's no excuse for Tesco doing it though, other than their inherent scumminess. If my local ASDA, M&S, Morrison's, Waitrose don't make me put a coin in the trolley, why does Tesco. Because they are dicks.

So many good raspberries out at the moment. I'm going to collect as many as I can. This year's been great so far, I got piles of wild garlic, cherries, and blaeberries so far. Noticed that the rosehips are nearly there, so this is the year I make a rosehip jelly. We've got tone of wild strawberries in the garden, so I've been eating those too, they're growing in and about the edges of the garden which we try to keep semi-wild anyway. Just planted a redcurrant bush, a whitecurrant bush, a blackcurrant bush and a sea buckthorn bush. Will see how they get on.

Fair points, but I think it will be difficult for me to administer the difference between what teams' tops people are and aren't allowed to wear in my New Order. So I'll probably still have to ban it, simply to avoid that embarrassment when one sees grown men leading their families through to Departures in an OF top. That said, I've seen court drawings of idiots who thought it was appropriate attire to wear to their hearing, so I guess wearing suchlike for travel is comparatively sensible.

Pleasing to see that Brian's timeline is the usual litany of RTs of right-wing hacks like Stephen Daisley. It's typical of the sort of dicks that have "Scotland, United Kingdom" in their bios.

I hate the Cinch adverts on the radio at the moment. "That'll be my lemon-pepper chicken" "No, that'll be my tasty motah" If I ever hear anyone referring to a car as a "motor", or far worse a "tasty motor", I will wish significant ill on them.

You are correct on both those points. That said: 1) It's because (and I'm reducing a complex situation to a very facile point) the cinemas as a whole don't kick back to the production companies more. They have been squeezed ridiculously for about 40 years now and have largely just taken it. Apart from that, on the subject of the mark-ups, this is also true, and it's akin to restaurants needing to mark-up wine wildly. But maybe that's just an indicator that these industries as a whole aren't willing to be honest with themselves or their clientele about what cost/price should be. 2) True. But just hire 1 bouncer per cinema. Said 18 year olds can flag them to relevant screen to batter dickheads when needed.

Exactly. If everyone says it, it loses meaning.

Folk who sing pointless chants ate the football. e.g. "Same old *******, always cheating". Given that the stupider elements of every support sing this at every other team it's completely meaningless. I hate everyone who has ever sung this, including fans of my team.
